Data.gov.au provides public access, download, and reuse to raw data from the Australian Government, state and territory governments. Data.gov.au encourages user feedback and suggestions. Site upgrades and new features will be made over time.

The Government is releasing public data to help people understand how government works and how policies are made. Some of this data is already available, but data.gov.uk brings it together in one searchable website. Making this data easily available means it will be easier for people to make decisions and suggestions about government policies based on detailed information.
